- Saving word doc to DVD
- Posted by Moonraker on March 9th, 2006
Hi,
We are still trying to get used to our XP PC (the other one, we have had
this win98 machine for years).
We are trying to save some documents onto a DVD (which has been formatted
with Incd on this win98 PC, and already has files saved on it.)
On the XP machine, after copying and pasting onto the DVD (in the "D"
drive), when I look at the DVD, I get a right pane, Split into two
horizontally.
The bottom pane shows files on the DVD ,
And the top pane shows files waiting to be copied to the DVD.
The icons have an arrow pointing downwards and are toned down in colour
In win 98, when I copy and paste the files go straight onto the disc.
What is happening, and how do I get the files to paste onto the DVD.
The reason for copying to the DVD is to take to the win98 machine and send
them attached to an e-mail.
Many thanks Steve

You need to install a DVD recording program,
such as Nero. Windows XP only natively supports
CD recording.

Thankyou,
So if I put a CDR in the drive, will all the files waiting be written to the
disc.
Do I need to format the disc first, how do I do this.
I am going to see if I can get the "A" drive working, if I do can I change
the "waiting to be copied to CD" files and save them to the floppy instead.
If you see what I mean!!
Cheers Steve.

Yes if you tell it to.
No you don't need to format the CD
